Mono Ethylene Glycol By Sree Ma Trading Company

Water Blocking Yarns

Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) is the most widely used chemical from the
Glycol family. It is an essential raw material for Polyester fibres and
Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) polymer. MEG based products are also
used as coolants in Automobile antifreeze, resins, humectants for
tobacco / paper etc.APPLICATIONS:



Polyester: MEG is an essential raw material for Polyester. MEG reacts with PTA / DMT to produce polyester. Textiles: Polyester, is the largest synthetic fibre used
in textiles. With more than 18 million tons of fibre production in a
year, Polyester is second only to Cotton (20 million tons). With cotton
availability being restricted, the growing demand of fibres is largely
met by Polyesters. Polyester Filament Yarn can be directly used for
textiles, while Polyester Staple Fibre is blended with other fibres
before being drawn into a yarn. Packaging: Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Film, sheet
and moulded containers for food packaging continue to grow in
popularity. Lightweight soft drink containers based on PTA & MEG
are crystal clear and shatterproof. Boil-in-bag pouches use polyester
films, while retortable and microwave packages use coextruded films and
containers. Furnishings: Staple Fibre made from Polyester is also
used in furniture applications like cushions, upholstery etc.
Continuous development in this fibre segment has opened a very good
opportunity in this segment. Consumer Goods: Apart from uses in Textiles, Furnishings
as detailed above, PET is also used in films for audio and video
recording tapes. Sun-Control films are also based on PET. PET has also
become the primary container resin for carbonated soft drink bottles
and other applications. Adhesives, Sealants and Coatings: MEG and DEG is used in
latex based paint formulation. These glycols are also used to produce
acrylate and methacrylate resins for coatings, adhesives, and paints. Alkyd Resins for Paints and Coatings: MEG is used as a reactant in the manufacture of Alkyd resins which are used in Paints, enamels and varnishes. Antifreeze: MEG is used as an active ingredient in engine
coolants and antifreeze, offering benefits including a high boiling
point, low vapor pressure, excellent heat transfer abilities, and the
ability to depress the freezing point of water. Others:Dyes & Inks: MEG finds applications in products like Dyes & Inks for High speed printing. Humectants: Glycols being hygroscopic in nature are also used as Humectants for tobacco, paper etc. Explosives, Suspending agents for electrolytic conductors etc.
Our principals for MEG are based in the Middle-East.
